I have an internal SATA, Asus Blu-ray drive that I've been using since Mint Cinnamon 20, maybe before. I've never had any problem with it. The problem started on Cinnamon 21.1, I have since updated to Cinnamon 21.2. I tried watching a blu-ray movie in VLC and I got the error that I didn't have the A...

Ah yes, that seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks Are you using Lutris to run these games? I got this fsync error since the recent update to 0.5.10 of Lutris. There is a setting in the configuration that is now enabled for fsync. I think this might be new. You can turn this off in your Runner set...

I am wondering this as well. After updating my Mint 20.2 to 20.3 when trying to play the Windows game Starcraft Remastered I get an error upon launch, "Your kernel is not patched for fsync. Please get a patched kernel to use fsync." With some searching it looks like a kernel that actually ...

It did work, thanks.

Try it this way. follow the instructions for xubuntu 18.04 It will work on Mint 19.1 https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home:stevenpusser&package=palemoon You will have to use the terminal but when your done. It will be installed and will automatically update via the update man...

I was trying to fix the seemingly common problem in Palemoon where it doesn't auto update. The solution I kept seeing mentioned was to make sure the folder where it's installed is set to writeable or the auto update won't work. I did what I thought was setting the folder to writeable but apparently ...

With the Nvidia driver installed, open the NVIDIA X Server Settings utility and check if all 3 monitors are visible on the second page. Enable any that are disabled, rearrange them if needed and close the program. Open the Displays program and click the Apply button. Log out and back in to check if...

Consider getting an inexpensive Nvidia card that has 3 ports for connecting monitors, like the GeForce GT 710. This is what I did and it's mostly working. Using both NVIDIA or nouveau drivers it will not display on all three monitors by default when I login to Mint. On the Mint boot screen and the ...

That's not a bad idea. I'm saving to build a new machine so I wasn't going to get a new card until then. But getting an inexpensive one is not a bad idea. In my opinion, if you're building a new machine any time soon then a cheap video card is a waste of the cost of the cheap video card if you inte...

There appears to be a bug in the operation of Driver Manager in Mint 19. Use this command to remove other Nvidia related files: sudo apt autoremove If that doesn’t work, then use this command: sudo apt purge *nvidia* Consider getting an inexpensive Nvidia card that has 3 ports for connecting monito...

This confusing line from the inxi -SGx output in a previous post doesn’t show what driver is actually loading for the Nvidia card but the Xorg.0.log file shows the Nvidia driver is still loading: drivers: modesetting,nvidia,ati,radeon,nouveau (unloaded: fbdev,vesa) The nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf ...

Disconnect the monitor connected to the integrated GPU. At the desktop, use these commands and post the output: inxi -SMCI and ls /etc/modprobe.d Also post the Xorg.0.log file. Use this command to open it: xed /var/log/Xorg.0.log If you have problems posting that long file, then it can be uploaded ...

You will first need to open Driver Manager and select the nouveau driver ( xserver-xorg-video-nouveau ). Then reboot and enter the BIOS. You need to be able to enable both GPUs at the same time. There will be a setting to select the Primary Video Device . There also may be another setting for the I...

Using both the integrated ATI and Nvidia card will probably work as long as the open source drivers are used for both. I'm a noob when it comes to linux. How do I check to see if Mint sees the ATI card and install drivers for it? As far as doing it through GUI it looks like there is only the place ...

I have an older desktop system from about 2009. Right now I am using a dedicated NVIDIA card that is running two monitors. My motherboard also has a ATI integrated graphics chip. I would like to also be able to use that along with the dedicated so that I could run a third monitor/TV on it. I have me...

I never did figure out what the actual problem was. I ended up doing a reinstall and that fixed the problem.

Anybody else have any ideas?

I would deffinately install the correct Nvidia driver first of all Nouveau drivers just don't do well with most Nvidia card. According to Nvidia you should be using the 390 driver for that card which is not in the Mint repositories yet. The newest driver in the repository is 384. So there in may li...

Hi sorry your having problems, please go to a terminal and type this command and post the output here, this may help us to help you. inxi -Fxz Here you go. System: Host: Quercus Kernel: 4.13.0-41-generic x86_64 (64 bit gcc: 5.4.0) Desktop: Cinnamon 3.6.7 (Gtk 3.18.9-1ubuntu3.3) Distro: Linux Mint 1...

I'm still new to Linux so I don't know how to proceed really when dealing with issues like I would be with Windows. I'm running 18.3/Cinnamon and I'm having stability issues. They're gradually getting worse. It's starting to get beyond annoying. A couple of years ago I ran Mint 16 & 17 Cinnamon ...
